New to area

[stvnsnwdy]

Need some help from the season veterans in the area. I have just moved to the Northwest area. I have always hunted in the Midwest and South. Could use some help getting familiar with this area. I have purchased Western Elk tags, after finding out the best areas are on the eastern side, can someone point to some good areas around for Elk.

Get you some maps.. I would suggest the  Mt. St. Helens area, plenty of open ground to hunt, plenty of closed roads to hike in... lots of elk.

Good luck

Yeah I have been looking over a lot of maps. I was told to go around the Olympic National Forest. How is that area?

I've deer hunted the last 3 weekends in the Coweeman unit, I've seen more elk then deer, after wasting early archery elk there in 80-90 degree temps then total closure of the unit due to fire danger I really wish I had a modern rifle tag for it now. Good luck.

Next year buy a Eastern WA tag and hit the Blues.

Next year scout scout scout then put in for special permits for units with the best success.
